OTTAWA (CP)—Concern about the state of health of the Cana- dian Broadcasting: Corporation fias been brought into focus by the series of difficulties through which the CBC has stumbled in the last six months.

The morale of the 6,600-odd employees of the sprawling broadcasting setup and the strength of the CBC's manage- ment and organization’ are caus- _ ing worry in a number of quar- ' ters, particularly-in Parliament. Revenue Minister Nowlan, the minister who reports to Parlia- mént for the publicly-owned CBC, has spoken of “loose manage ment.” Leaders of the Liberal and CCF parties have stressed the need to prevent ‘further ) deterioration” of onganizational e@tructure and employee morale. . ANNOUNCEMENT SOON During the weekend, the CBC’s executive committee met to deal with the situation in which the

corporation has found itself. It,

was expected to make an an- gouncement early this week. The CBC has never been in so much hot water so often ‘for a long ting By the very nature of its function the. CBC is much more prone to public criticism —its ‘ radio and television pro- duct is constantly under scrut- iny in the homes of millions of Canadians every day.

In presenting 90,000 radio and TV programs a year—60,000 of them CBC-produced—the corpor- ation is nd to stumble on oc- - €asion or ‘tramp on someone's toes.

When it does, in a big way, it May find itself sitting in oe

' ment. before’a large segment of its 17.500,000 shareholde.s — the Canadian public which foots

one biggest broadcaster and at,

the same time the regulatory au- thority over all Canadian broad- casting.

. Then the Fowler royal commis- sion on broadcasting recom- mended in 1957 that an independ- ent board take over the OBC's regulatory powers and last year Parliament set up the Board of Broadcast Governors.

Parliament. also revised CBC organization, .establishing a new li«man board of directors to re- place the CBC Roard of Gover- nors that formerly had run the CBC and also regulated | all broadcasting.

Just before this, Davidson Dun- ton, the steady, strong hand be- hind the CBC’s: development, re- signed as board chairman to be- come president of Carleton Uni- versity in Ottawa.

The range of candidates is re- flected in districts such as Helio- polis near Cairo where the‘list in- cludes seven streetcar conduc- tors, a former cabinet minister, 20 teachers, 20 lawyers, four ac- countants and seven women.

More than 200 women are in the race although this is only. the} second- time Egyptian women have been allowed to try for of- fice.
